Bare-chested lies! Sun brings page three back, causes Twitter storm

The decision by the UK’s top selling newspaper to stop showing topless models has been revealed to be either a clever hoax or a dastardly PR stunt, after the tabloid paper once again featured a bare-chested model on Page 3.

Earlier this week it
appeared that the paper had stopped running Page 3 amid
suggestions that a decision had been made by the paper’s owner
Rupert Murdoch.

The media reported that the decision had been made
“quietly,” without any PR fuss, and the Sun refused to
comment on the move.

The silence was treated as affirmative, but as the Sun’s head of
PR Dylan Sharpe posted, it was not.

Just got a call from @BBCr4today > "Do you
want to discuss why you've brought back #Page3?" Me:
"I don't recall telling you it had gone?"

The apparent decision was greeted with outrage from fans and
excitement from critics, who had campaigned for over three years
to ban the page, which features a weekly ‘News in Briefs’ from a
scantily clad model.
